UK Ticket-Holder Secures a £26 Million Euro Millions Prize

One British player has secured the £26m EuroMillions grand prize, the National Lottery have announced.

The winning numbers picked on Friday night were 06, 12, 18, 25 and 41, with the Bonus numbers 02 and 06.

This marks the number three European lottery top prize won in the UK so far this year out of 10 drawn up to now.

At the start of the year, an individual claimed £83 million, followed by a £65 million Valentine's Day jackpot. Both winners decided to be unidentified.

However, the winner of the Saturday £10.6 million National Lottery top prize has still not appeared.

A senior winners' adviser encouraged participants to check carefully to review their numbers and emails.

The lucky Lotto combination for last Saturday were: 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 and the bonus number was 42.

"Our team is ready to offer support and offer access to experts who can assist victors make the most of the win for themselves and those close to them," the adviser commented.

The EuroMillions prize will be verified against the lottery regulations, and once approved, the successful player will determine whether to go public.

Despite turning them into a millionaire, Friday's prize of £26m does not place the victor among EuroMillions' largest-ever successful players.

A jackpot of more than £183m would have been needed to earn a position in the top 10 list of jackpot prizes.

The biggest prize won by a British participant is 195 million pounds in the year 2022, as reported by the lottery.

Although it is difficult to secure a jackpot, it is more common than many think to miss out on the winnings.

A player failed to claim a £1m prize recently after failing to claim a EuroMillions prize within the 180-day claim period, meaning the money was instead donated to National Lottery-funded projects.

The greatest EuroMillions prize to be left untouched in the United Kingdom was £63.8m in the summer of 2012.

The EuroMillions draw is conducted every Tuesday and Friday across multiple European states.
